Also, did anyone get a question on what MTD software is used for?
The options (you had to pick 2) were:
-to pay VAT
-to submit VAT return
-to keep digital accounting records
-to communicate with HMRCI picked “to submit VAT return” and then struggled to choose between “to keep digital accounting records” and “to pay VAT bills”…
December 9, 2020 at 5:13 pm #598880Yes i got this one to and went with submitting & keeping digital records as at my work we use MTD and still have to make the payment from the bank ourselves π

I think the answer was 16000? chargeable business assets right?

i dont think i got short life asset as a question
December 9, 2020 at 8:08 pm #598924Oh that’s a relief – I picked those two as well! Thank you for that – my study books didn’t have much to say about MTD, so I had to wing that question in the exam.
December 9, 2020 at 8:10 pm #598925Yes, it was for a chargeable gain. And I answered that as well π Thanks!

Hi π
I think we were supposed to reduce the gain to “business assets/total chargeable assets” and get the gain chargeable immediately. πDecember 9, 2020 at 10:23 pm #598920jesseady1 wrote:Yes i got this one to and went with submitting & keeping digital records as at my work we use MTD and still have to make the payment from the bank ourselves

December 10, 2020 at 1:45 am #598972Yeah I did on the SR pool
December 10, 2020 at 10:20 am #599037did anyone get a main pool balance in section c instead of short life asset
December 10, 2020 at 1:02 pm #599071I had one on the capital allowance…not sure it was the same though. Had a bit of a panic on the capital allowances. Remembered there was integral features I put in the main pool but realised it should have been in the special R pool when the exam finished….also realised I had completely disregarded that the 100% FYA had been applied on the 90g/km car regarding the refund dah… should have corrected that…my nerves really hinder my performance on the day. Did the specimen exam and past paper on ACCA before hand and plenty of c questions to time (1.8m per mark) from the kaplan practice kit. Think it massively helped with exam technique and first time I have ever finished the full paper with 5 min to spare. I had a question on terminal losses, think it was a six marker. After the exam finished I realised I had approached the question as an early years loss claim….messed that one up. I am really crossing my fingers I have done enough elsewhere though to break even. There are a few questions that have stuck with me and I am still looking to resolve ahah
December 10, 2020 at 1:03 pm #599072Yea actually I think I got this not the short life assets one
December 10, 2020 at 1:29 pm #599081oh okay. i just had a main pool balance if i can remember properly and there was partition walls in one of the adjustments which i claimed for AIA. its weird everyone getting different questions in section C
December 10, 2020 at 9:26 pm #599272Hard as expected! But i think >50% is achievable!
December 11, 2020 at 4:46 pm #599472I think it went okay on the whole. However, for section A I seemed to have a disproportionate amount of penalty / surcharge questions which I wasn’t too well prepared for unfortunately.
That said, I think I did pretty well for section B and C – just kicking myself a bit over the ‘easy’ lost marks in Section A (unless I guessed some correctly of course!)
December 12, 2020 at 7:04 am #599641This is my second attempt for this paper. Alhamdulillah, kalini saya jawab semua cumanya ada benda belum gazette kan lagi tapi dah jadikan soalan??? ???
December 13, 2020 at 4:02 am #599762Hello. My pc kept crashing during the exam. This is very disturbing as I had to change pc each time the pc had crashed. Although my time left is not being lost, I had to read the questions again to understand it. The exam was very hard btw.
December 15, 2020 at 8:33 pm #600087Hi all
Did anyone take their TX paper today as a remotely invigilated exam?
I took mine but I’m worried whether it submitted….sorry long post coming up
I did all the checks to start and took my photos then was on the screen where it said that they were doing their checks and the exam would start within 15 minutes….then the screen changed and said there was a problem and I would have to re book but then within another 30 seconds the exam loaded. I realised while doing the exam there was no invigilator chat box and my webcam light was off.
I went through the exam and went through the normal exit exam etc at the end and now on my acca it still allows me to launch the exam but when I press it it says check in closed buy shows the time I finished my exam and that it has been taken.
I’m now worried it won’t be accepted, not least because I actually think I did ok!!
Any others have these issues?
December 20, 2020 at 6:22 pm #600410I attempted the exam on 15th.. I got the short life assets question..
Altogether it was ok.. atleast managed to complete on time which was the challenge for me while doing practice..
Hoping that I pass because I really donβt want to repeat this paper..
December 21, 2020 at 9:05 pm #600504Hi, I gave my exams on 15th and got different questions. I also completed the paper in time which almost was impossible when doing mocks. Hoping for a pass, fingers crossed.
